How far should AI really go in design development?
Where does tech help, and where should it stop?
And what is the boring stuff we should simply
hand over to AI? 😂
That is exactly what we dig into in the very
first episode of Fashion Forward.
And guess who is joining us.
A creative leader who helps brands shape
refined identities.
A strategist who blends design, storytelling,
and marketing so every idea lands with power.
A mentor who teaches creatives how to stand out
and attract dream clients.
And a brilliant mother navigating new chapters
with grace.
Yes.
of .
We talk about design development from the
traditional lens.
We explore where tech fits.
Where it helps.
Where it harms.
And how fashion teams can use AI without
losing their creative soul.
If you care about fashion design.
If you work in product development.
If you want to use tech to save time, reduce
costs, and build sustainably.
You need to hear this.
